How well does SkyOS handle ACPI. That is something that I know Linux is just now overcoming. Most used to use APM for power management and the kernel supported it, but most newer laptops are using ACPI for a variety of functions and it is having to be included in the kernel of most major distros.

I use SkyOS on a WalMart CN4949. This is their $500 laptop that comes with Linspire. I reformatted the drive on mine and set it up to boot between Windows XP SP1, Fedora Core 3, AROS, and SkyOS. SkyOS works nicely on it. The video is plain VESA, but it does have sound and networking - two very important features. If anyone gets this laptop, I recommend getting a 256M or 512M SODIMM as the 128M it comes with is very limiting.
